Our Colony Counters for Sale
Our diverse range of colony counters for sale has something for every microbiology laboratory, so you can find the correct device for your requirements, no matter what application you are after. From basic colony counters through to fully automated plate handling systems, our colony counters can help to improve accuracy and maximise time efficiency. Explore our collection and make your microbiology applications simpler and more streamlined.
AutoCOL
The Synbiosis AutoCOL is a fully automated colony counter that’s designed for laboratories that need rapid, hands-free operation, without compromising on accuracy. It has the capability to process large volumes of plates to improve productivity, consistency and traceability when colony counting.
AutoCOL has an intelligent plate handling system and an integrated high-resolution imaging setup to provide accurate counts in a quicker time. Once the user has loaded the plates, the system automatically removes the plate lid, scans plate barcodes, captures quality images and counts colonies at rapid speeds before sorting the plates into pass and fail stacks – allowing up to 100 plates to be processed in under an hour! All you have to do is press play and walk away, which is perfect for high-throughput environments.
ProtoCOL 3
Our Synbiosis ProtoCOL 3 is a high-performance automated colony counter and inhibition zone measurement system for all microbiology laboratory environments performing a variety of applications. It’s ideal for pharmaceutical companies, environmental monitoring, food and beverage testing, research laboratories and much more. The ProtoCOL 3 is engineered to deliver fast, accurate, and traceable microbiological analysis through a powerful combination of advanced imaging techniques and intuitive analysis software.
The ProtoCOL 3 automated colony counter is equipped with a high-resolution camera, capturing images using our bespoke RGB triple capture mechanism for unrivalled accuracy. These high-contrast images allow the ability to precisely detect colonies and inhibition zones across a wide array of bacteria, fungi, and moulds on all agar types. ProtoCOL 3 can process plates up to 150mm in diameter at speed and with consistency for unparalleled reliability. Our intuitive colony counting software allows you to capture and analyse images efficiently, whether that be colony counting, measuring inhibition zones for antibiotic susceptibility testing, or other more niche applications, including Ames testing or SBA and OPKA assays.
The ProtoCOL 3 range offers high levels of precision for inhibition zone measurement with an accuracy of up to +/-0.2mm. Designed to function in a 21 CFR Part 11-compliant environment, the ProtoCOL 3 has secure, audit-ready performance.
Protos 3
In the Synbiosis product range, you can find the Protos 3 automated colony counter. This brings the high-performance imaging analysis that Synbiosis is known for to a more affordable market. With its advanced imaging capabilities and intelligent analysis software, it is the perfect fit for microbiology environments that require colony counting, spiral plate measuring, colony recognition and identification on chromogenic agar or when running a dilution series of samples.
You can rely on this technology to produce precise counts for a wide range of agar types and varying colony colours, shapes, sizes and morphologies. This automated colony counter comes with a high-resolution camera and an integrated RGB LED lighting ring, allowing for unmatched clarity in the image for accurate analysis.
aCOLyte 3 HD
Our aCOLyte 3 HD is Synbiosis’ entry-level automated colony counter. Its compact design makes it suitable for any microbiology laboratory environment without compromising on the quality and accuracy of the count. The technology still delivers high-precision results as an affordable system by improving efficiency and making automated colony counting accessible to every laboratory.
Whether using the colony counting machine for basic colony counting or spiral plate counting, the aCOLyte 3 HD comes with the same bespoke counting algorithm that is used in our high-specification units, giving you the reassurance that your colony counting will be precise, accurate, and efficient.
ProcScan
You can also find our ProcScan high-resolution scanner system, designed for imaging larger-sized plates up to 300mm x 300mm, ensuring that your inhibition zone measurements are quick, simple, and reliable.
The ProcScan uses a precise scanning technology for outstanding clarity and detail, giving an accuracy of +/-0.15mm when measuring inhibition zones, which is the highest level of accuracy across the Synbiosis range. This means that you get optimal repeatable results, allowing you to have confidence in your inhibition zone measurements and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) data.
aCOLade 2
The aCOLade 2 from Synbiosis is the only manual colony counter in our range; it is simple to use with no software required. Its ergonomic design allows for rapid and precise colony counting on all types of agar plates, allowing for quick and accurate results. The aCOLade 2 is the best solution for laboratories looking for budget-friendly microbiology laboratory supplies.
This manual colony counter lets a user illuminate their plates for ideal counting conditions, with an LED digital display giving clear and accurate readouts. Plate illumination means you will get bright, glare-free lighting for exceptional plate visibility, with an interchangeable white and black background to cater for all agar and colony types.
